Apple files lawsuit against YouTuber over alleged iOS 26 leak
NEW YORK, July 19: Apple has taken legal action against prominent leaker Jon Prosser, accusing him of conspiring to break into an Apple development device and steal confidential trade secrets. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges that Prosser sought to profit from stolen information about the unreleased iOS 26 software. Leaks have long been a common occurrence in the tech world, especially involving companies like Apple. Industry insiders and leakers such as Prosser and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman frequently share predictions about upcoming Apple products, often citing anonymous company sources. While these leaks have become routine, Apple is now pushing back more aggressively. According to the complaint, Prosser, who runs the YouTube channel Front Page Tech, allegedly collaborated with a co-conspirator to gain access to an Apple employee's development iPhone running the unreleased iOS 26 software. The suit identifies the employee as Ethan Lipnik and states that another defendant, Michael Ramacciotti—who was reportedly staying at Lipnik's home—waited until Lipnik left before accessing the device. Ramacciotti then allegedly shared details of the unreleased software with Prosser via video call. Prosser is accused of using this early information in videos posted well before Apple's official announcements. The lawsuit also claims that Ramacciotti stated Prosser orchestrated the entire plan, promising to find a way to compensate Ramacciotti for his involvement. Prosser has publicly denied any wrongdoing and disputes the accuracy of the lawsuit's details. In a direct message, he told reporters, 'The details that Apple was given are just not accurate. I had no knowledge of how the info was obtained. He never told me he 'needed money' and I absolutely did not instruct him to act this out.' While Prosser acknowledges that he shared the leaked information on his channel — including calling it 'the biggest iOS leak ever'—he rejects any involvement in how the information was procured. The incident has had consequences within Apple. Ethan Lipnik, the employee whose device was allegedly accessed, was terminated for violating company policies protecting confidential information and unreleased software, according to the complaint. Apple and Lipnik have not responded to requests for comment. Tech analyst Anshel Sag of Moor Insights & Strategy described the lawsuit as 'quite significant,' noting a clear difference between Apple's allegations and Prosser's account, particularly as the employee involved appeared unaware of the leak. Sag emphasized that the key issue lies in the inadequate protection of the development device and the need to verify the origin of leaked information before public dissemination. He added that Apple has stronger legal tools in the U.S. to combat leaks compared to previous incidents often traced to international manufacturing partners. The complaint cites violations of the Defend Trade Secrets Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, both enforceable in federal court. Prosser said he only learned of the lawsuit through media reports. Expressing sympathy for Lipnik's firing, he stated, 'I wish he had shared with Apple what had occurred, and I wish that Apple would have connected with me for more answers—I would have gladly chatted with them.'

Oasis surprise fans with dramatic set list change and new song
Noel and Liam Gallagher have shocked fans at Heaton Park by changing up the set list and adding a new song they didn't play in Cardiff. Fans last week who saw the first Oasis shows in 16 years at the Principality stadium were treated to 23 songs including Supersonic and Little By Little. And the band are well known for sticking to the same set a lot, sometimes without changing for a whole tour. But back in Manchester they decided to give the fans something extra and played another song from their iconic back catalogue. The changing set list gives fans hope that other songs may be added at other venues. Taylor Swift played different songs every night on her recent world tour. A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time. This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show! In Cardiff the majority of Oasis fans were happy with the choice of songs although there were some notable songs missing. Amongst those missing which are popular amongst fans are Columbia, Lyla, Go Let It Out, Stop Crying Your Heart Out, The Importance Of Being Idle and the Beatles classic I Am The Walrus, which the band sometimes play as an encore. Commenting on the Cardiff set list, Paul Johnson said on X: 'There's absolute bangers they left out.' Mick Went 57 said: 'Good but no Columbia? Def in their top 5 imo.' In the tour programme Noel reflected on playing with Oasis and his brother, saying: 'People will never forget the way you made them feel.' He also mused about why so many people of all ages tried to get tickets for the Oasis Live 25 tour. Noel said: 'A new generation recognises how Oasis wasn't manufactured. It was chaotic, and flawed, and not technically brilliant. We were rough and ready guys from a rehearsal room, and people recognised it.' Their return to Manchester coincided with a heatwave and Oasis warned fans ahead of Friday's gig to wear sun screen and keep hydrated ahead of the show. After Manchester Oasis go to London, Edinburgh, and Dublin as well as the US, South America and Australia. The Gallaghers shocked fans last weekend with a symbolic sign of unity by coming on stage holding hands.

No More Military Social Experiments
Sec Def Hegseth will no longer allow your tax dollars to go towards 'gender affirming' delusions for trans military members. I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. There are a lot of careers, professions, and areas of life where social experiments are fine like the local coffee shop, the theatre department, or the nightclub, but the military is not one of those areas. And now, our defense department under the leadership of Pete Hegseth, will reflect that. This week our secretary of defense ordered an IMMEDIATE pause on what the Left likes to call 'gender affirming care'-but is really the medical or therapeutic bandage for gender dysfunction- for all active duty service members. The United States Military exists to protect American interests, not pay for the end result of an identity crisis. If eyesight, asthma, or ya know.. the refusal of rhetoric COVID vax, are impediments to one's military service, perhaps questioning your biology to the point you require 'care' should also be on the list! Back to war fighting. Back to common sense. I'm Tomi Lahren and you watch my show 'Tomi Lahren is Fearless' at Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
